Alexander. Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 (edited) This topic is for PC Gamers only. Generally speaking, how long does your battery life last fully charged? What percentage screen brightness do you keep your PC at? Fully charged at 100% mine will live for: 4 hours and 30 minutes exactly which is ideal to game outside my house in internet cafes, around friends or family's and in the communal living space. Mostly I keep the brightness of the screen to 35% as anything higher than this strains my eyes and gives me bad headaches! What about yourself?

Cleopatra92 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 My laptop is old as dirt so the battery barely lasts an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 My battery usually lasts 2 hours and 10 minutes. It is now 2 year old laptop. And from what I heard this is a good performance of the laptop. So I am not complaining. I heard that new SSD based laptops tend to last for few more minutes So it goes somewhere around 2 hour 50 minutes or so. In that case the performance is not that bad I guess.

The last one I used can last for as long as 3 hours. I spent a fortune to get the laptop and I never regretted doing so since I got value for money.

Head_Hunter Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I know PC batteries doesn't last that much, but with 4+ hours battery life, it is quite worthwhile that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 I think less apps you have on the background the better for your system. Lot of background services end up affecting your system boot and also background energy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empire Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 2 hours max, and that's when the laptop is idling with screen brightness at 20% and keyboard backlight off. I can suck the battery dry in less than 20 minutes with gaming. Most of the time while on my laptop on my desk is that I have it pluged in all the time 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingpotato Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Mine basically died like a year ago, It doesnt work without the charger constantly connected to it I had it for 4 years prior that. The laptop still works so Im not going to get rid of it anytime soon hopefully, Laptops got very expensive with the pandemic. I already tried a generic battery and that only lasted for 16 full charges, and also because of the pandemic the original battery is still not available brand new.

Justin11 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 I know it is a normal norm for PC batteries to last between 3-4 hours of steady activities. I just hope the one I'll be buying soon last up to that, if not, it will be a complete nightmare, since we have power supply issues in my locality.

skyfire Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 I think if you are using the VMWare then you may notice that it is consuming a lot of battery too. I have seen that happening in many cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one that you are buying can last as much as you want. The bigger challenge is buying a PC that the accessories are available in the market. This will enable you change the battery once it gets weaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure, and Lenovo laptop accessories are rampant here in my location. That's why I am confident of buying the laptop and plus it is cheaper too.

Ask for friends reviews from those making use of it because even when the accessories are there in the market, I won't support buying new accessories almost every new week.

skyfire Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 I think only apple have mastered the battery life for the laptop battery. I know for sure that their laptops perform lot better long term than average windows laptops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
